Journalism

In October 2025, the Inasmuch Foundation Board met for its annual retreat. After reviewing the national journalism grantmaking strategy and assessing the local needs across all the Foundation’s focus areas, the Board elected to sunset the nonprofit investigative journalism funding.

Summary of Inasmuch Foundation’s impact since 2009:

• 280 grants totaling $18.2 million to 79 newsrooms in 41 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico
• 94 grants totaling $8 million to 22 journalism support organizations
• The 39 newsrooms supported over three years saw an average compound annual growth rate of 14% between first and last Inasmuch grant
• 85% of newsroom grantees are still publishing
• 9% of grantees merged with another nonprofit newsroom

While shifting away from national efforts, Inasmuch Foundation remains deeply committed to supporting Oklahoma journalism initiatives that strengthen communities and foster informed civic engagement.
